Features

Taking the next step

As ever, the end of one year and start of a new one is a convenient time to reflect on the journey you’ve been on so far, and to think about what you want to do next. Many of us will be unsure about what we want or how to take that next step.

The homeless community

What does community mean to you? Whatever it may be, most of us can agree it’s something we all crave and care for

New beginnings

So far as symbolic, clichéd times of the year go, there’s nothing like the start of a new one to get the mind racing.

Winter and homeless

Winter is often the harshest season, but every person experiencing homelessness has a friend in the Pavement.

Survival stories

Our readers will know what difficulties they’ve faced during the Covid-19 lockdown. Here’s a shout out to some of the people and places who’ve offered help

Reasons to be cheerful

Where do you go when you are suddenly homeless? At writing workshops run by the Pavement we asked young people at New Horizon day centre in King’s Cross and the Pilion Trust in Islington, which runs the Crashpad youth shelter, to share ideas about how to pass time safely until life gets better again.
